New Zealand Resumes Imports of Canadian Beef

[cowman]

grassfarmer: No I haven't had any New Zealand beef...thought I was buying some once but it turned out to be trimmed A3 beef they were advertizing as New Zealand...at Safeway.
Actually, whenever possible I buy products made in Canada? I figure why not help out the home team?
I will note a fairly consistant steak can be bought at Costco? I've never had a bad one there.
My nephew has a bar and grill in Thailand. He says you can't buy a decent steak there. It is all either local beef or mostly Australian...the tourists prefer the chicken!

Oh and one more thing grassfarmer...what is the makeup of the New Zealand herd? I remember reading an article where they liked to raise a lot of dairy calves for the export market.

The makeup of their herd is simple Cowman, Angus and Hereford genetics predominate but as you say they raise dairy bulls for export although this is for a different market and is not the high quality grassfed beef you will buy as a steak at a resteraunt anywhere.
